August 21,1935.
The Hon. Elihu D. Stone,
80 Federal Street,
Boston.
Dear Mr. Stone:-
A few more days have passed than I planned
before I can answer your very kind and very charming letter,,
I did manage however,as she may have told you,to write
to your niece Beatrice. The note to her is perhaps a "bit
pedagogical. But she needs that on account of the very
promise of fine things that she undoubtedly shows.
It's very good of you to interest yourself
in the matter of a Boston appearance for our cause for my
wife. I can assure you and Brin that,given the proper conditions and sufficient notice for sufficient preparation,
she will please even a Boston audience,as she has other
audiences in other cities,so profoundly as not only to
satisfy herself and her friends but, as indeed she would
have it,to prove that she can be a distinct asset to
our cause.
Ah yes,that was the old spirit of Massachussets
alive once morel Curley's statement was admirable. The
I itlerian consul,by the way,acted with traditional Prussian
folly and tactlessness. May they continue to do so.
We,too,seem to enjoy Boston and especially the
friends there more and more and to feel that generally and
socially and Jewishly it's our proper head-quarters.
I don't know whether we properly told Mrs. Stone
and yourself that,whatever else we haven't,we have a fairly
big place and an adequate guest-room and that you're both
invited!
My wife Joins me in kindest greetings and regards
to Mrs. Stone and yourself. -;
Sincerely yours,
